In case you are a world class gamer or you think that there might be someone out there who would like to see how well you played, Nvidia has a solution for you.

Geforce Experience has received Shadowplay support, a way of make video clips out of your gameplay with a minimum performance impact. Now Geforce Experience 1.8.1 is bringing Twitch support, a way to broadcast your gameplay. Twitch is using a dedicated H.264 hardware encoder that is a part of Geforce 600- and 700-series cards.

This is a nice feature that many younger gamers will enjoy as apparently many of them believe that if something didn’t happen on the twitter, Facebook or streamed at YouTube, it didn’t happen at all. That is how the world works these days.

You will need to have Twitch login credentials and a 3.5Mbps connection is required for High Quality, 2Mbps for medium, and 0.75Mbps for low.

If you own a Geforce GT 650 card or better, especially the 700 series, your Geforce Experience will offer an update.

Nvidia has released a new WHQL 331.65 driver that is bringing many new things to old gear. Shield owners will have to get this one in order to get the official support for Gamestream technology and the average gamer will like the fact that it can record and upload gaming videos via Geforce ShadowPlay video capture tool.

This is not all as the new driver boosts performance in many games by 19 percent for Geforce 400/500/600/700 series. Nvidia claims that the owners of GeForce GTX 690/770/780/TITAN cards can expect up to 12% in Battlefield 4, 19% in Sniper Elite V2, 13% in Dirt: Showdown, 9% in Metro: Last Light, 9% in Sleeping Dogs, 8% in Max Payne 3 and up to 6% in F1 2012.

The driver adds 3D Vision support for Shadow Warrior – “Excellent”, Call of Duty: Ghosts – “Fair” and The Wolf Among Us – “Good”. We don’t know where these ratings are coming from, but Nvidia probably has a team checking out the compatibility and user experience.

The driver brings an official support for 4K/UHD displays as well as support for 4K Surround gaming, Geforce Expirience gets to 1.7 version, Installs new PhysX System Software 9.13.072, installs HD Audio v1.3.26.4, installs GeForce Experience v9.3.16.0, support for applications build with CUDA 5.5, Display port 1.2 support for GTX 600 GPUs and support for OpenGL 4.3 for Geforce 400 series and later.

It’s a big driver update but we cannot shake the feeling that Nvidia had this performance held back by the driver and released it just at the moment when its performance crown was threatened by the competition. The 201 MB download link is here, for those too lazy to Google it.

At its Montreal event, Nvidia showcased that it can record the last 20 minutes of your game gameplay. It can even stream directly to Twitch and it should not affect gameplay. It should be a one-click broadcast solution and you will need to have a Kepler GPU. It should work with every game.

Tom Peterson, Director of technical marketing, showcased what the new Geforce Experience looks like. You basically get Shadowplay options in the new Geforce Experience suite that is coming on October 28. You can turn on the streaming in Geforce Experience and you can stream in many resolutions including 1080p and up to 60 FPS.

Peterson showcased 720p video at 60FPS and a captured gameplay segment from Splinter Cell Blacklist that didn’t have any impact on performance.
